Our People

Isabelle Brouwers

ENB Dancer, First Artist


Being a dancer with ENB has unveiled many facets of my identity as an artist. Extensive performance schedules and touring have allowed me to perform diverse roles and work with illustrious choreographers and artists. Furthermore, ENB’s unique professional development platforms, most notably the Dance Leaders of the Future programme, have encouraged me to truly flourish.

Todd Baxter

Deputy Technical Director


Over the years the Company has worked with many of the world’s leading choreographers and design teams. My role with ENB has given me the opportunity to help these artists bring works to life and share them with audiences all over the world.

Sophie Knowles

Dance Health Manager


As part of the Engagement department, I have the opportunity to be part of a team that delivers an extensive outreach programme to communities across the UK. My role specifically focuses on Dance Health, which is incredibly rewarding as I see the difference dance programmes can have to people’s lives.

Virginia Devarajah

Assistant Accountant


Within a very short time after joining the company, it became evident to me that professional development is highly valued for employees, being offered study support and given the opportunity to practice theoretical knowledge alongside hands-on experience. Being a part of ENB’s finance team has been enjoyable whilst also being a great learning experience.

Laura Oliver

Building Operations Manager


Working on the fit-out and move to our new East London home gave me a unique opportunity to be involved in the building’s development and how the company works in it day to day. It’s an interesting and varied place to work and we’re building a dynamic Building Operations team to look after it.

Michael Adamson

Philanthropy Manager


I have responsibility in identifying and building relationships with individuals in order to secure financial support for the Company whilst enabling meaningful, rewarding experiences for the donor. An area of my role which I particularly enjoy is devising stewardship and engagement opportunities for supporters, from unique in conversations and masterclasses to access to private rehearsals.

Benjamin Lalague

Marketing Manager


I find my job extremely varied, creative and fulfilling. I love working with my colleagues to find different ways to connect with audiences – to delight them, surprise them, and bring the joy of ballet to them. It’s always a rush to read their comments after a performance, or see a video we created resonating with people across the world.
